"Go Green" with Boyd Matson
As a leading on-air journalist for National Geographic, Boyd Matson has the envious job of traveling to exotic locations and joining thrilling expeditions. Matson has rappelled into sinkholes, run multi-day endurance races through the desert, and been bitten by more snakes than he cares to count. By taking such extraordinary risks—going above and beyond the call of journalistic duty—Matson not only seeks to satisfy his own powerful curiosity about the world, but also brings a unique personal perspective to his stories. In doing so, he stands in for his less adventurous viewers, helping them feel what it was like to be in these extraordinary situations. Matson currently hosts a weekly radio show called NG Weekend, reaching out around the world by satellite phone to talk with some of the greatest explorers in the world as they conduct their work. Matson also writes a monthly column for National Geographic Traveler magazine, called Boyd Matson Unbound. With his extensive on-camera experience, Matson is a natural speaker, entertaining and enthralling audiences with stories of adventure, leavened with a touch of humor.
